1976 Seiko Chariot “Turkey” – Ref. 2220-7250 – Black Onyx Dial – 24J Hi-Beat 28,800 BPH
A refined and elegant vintage dress watch, this 1976 Seiko Chariot is powered by the 24-jewel Hi-Beat 2220 movement, running at an impressive 28,800 beats per hour — a remarkable specification for its era. Slim, precise, and finely finished, it reflects Seiko’s dedication to mechanical excellence in the mid-1970s.
The standout feature of this model is its glossy black onyx-style dial, nicknamed the “Turkey” for its rarity and unique aesthetic among Chariot pieces. Paired with sharp silver hands and indices, the dial offers a striking contrast that makes it both understated and sophisticated. Its slim case design ensures comfort on the wrist, while the minimalist layout makes it timelessly versatile.
